Introducing: One Wolf

I don’t know much about One Wolf at this point, other than that it is the songwriting vehicle of a Texan named Daniel Markham. After linking to the new song from Deer Tick yesterday the band’s promo people quickly sent along this one from their sophomore album, One Wolf II: Secret of the Wolf. Turns out they are playing some shows with DT this week and thought I might want to share some music with y‘all. And I do. “Backyard” is somewhat similar to Deer Tick, not because it shares the jangly garage-folk sound of “Twenty Miles”, but because its hints of melodic folk-rock are mixed with an almost dirty/grungy guitar sound - similar to what Deer Tick go for on occasion when they are actually getting away from what they do best. As far as One Wolf goes though, they pull this sound off with aplomb.

About Me

"No, don't call me a hero. Do you know who the real heroes are? The guys who wake up every morning and go to their normal jobs and get a distress call from the commissioner and take off their glasses and change into capes and fly around fighting crime. Those are the real heroes."

What To Do...

Read the words, listen to the songs, and then, if you like the music, follow the link to where you can BUY IT. Or take a walk to your local independent record store and browse around for it there. And then when the artist comes to your town, go to their show, listen intently, and clap for them in between songs. And buy a poster, t-shirt, koozie, button, drinks for the band, whatever. It all helps keep independent music going, and if you're reading this right now that's important to you. Most of the music posted here has been free and legally released by the artist or sent to me directly from the artist with permission for posting. If something has slipped through the cracks and should be taken down please just let me know.

If you are a band and you think I may like your songs and want to write about them shoot me an email - popheadwound (at) gmail (dot) com. The name's James.
